What can happen without travel insurance?

(Details provided by QBE Travel Insurance & Omega)

A male traveller was 63 years old and was travelling with his family in Eastern Europe and suffered a stroke while travelling and was admitted to hospital.

As the facilities were inadequate his family had organised for him to be air-lifted at a cost of AU$30,000 to Switzerland.

The traveller did not have travel insurance and as a result the family had to pay all the associated bills.

Wanting to get back to Australia, the man’s family contacted OMEGA in the hope they could organise a private Repatriation back to Australia.

OMEGA organised the Repatriation back to Australia however at a cost of $AU32,702.  On return to Australia, the client spent time in ICU and recovered well however he did have to sell his property to cover for the repatriation, medical attention and the airlift.

This is only one of the many Case Histories provided in regard to those who travel with and without travel insurance.
